Keke Palmer poses alongside her son, Leodis, in a delightful holiday-themed photoshoot. The actor and TV host shared the series of images on Instagram on Christmas Eve.
In the festive photos, Palmer exudes Christmas joy, wearing a long, form-fitting red gown that perfectly complements the holiday atmosphere. Completing her Mrs. Claus-inspired look, she sports a bleach blonde updo with matching bleached eyebrows. Positioned in front of a beautifully adorned fireplace, Palmer strikes poses with her little elf, Leo, by her side.
Captioning the photos, Keke wrote, “Santa is here, and she brought her favorite little helper. Merry Christmas Eve.” Another snapshot features the entertainer in an all-black ensemble, cradling her precious son, accompanied by the caption “Happy Holidays.”
Palmer, who welcomed her first child with Darius Jackson on February 25, 2023, recently shared heartfelt sentiments about her journey into motherhood. In her emotional message to her son, she called him “the love of her life”.
“You bring me so much joy my son!! Mommy waited so long for you and you were certainly worth the wait. I can’t wait until you’re older and we can go to the movies together, camp, improv, binge tv shows, cook and all the other endless things I dream of doing with you.”
She continued, “I have experienced so many things before and after your birth, which is why I can say undoubtably that your love has made me unstoppable. Nothing can beat me because I have you by my side. You are the love of my life …”
In November, she filed a restraining order against her ex-boyfriend, Darius Jackson, citing allegations of physical and emotional abuse during their two-year relationship. Additionally, Palmer sought sole custody of their 9-month-old son, Leodis.
Following Palmer’s filing, Darius Jackson responded on December 15, requesting joint custody of their son. In court documents obtained by People, Jackson contends that Palmer was the “primary aggressor” in their relationship, asserting allegations of physical and verbal abuse against him.
